    Being deciplined to run slow and become better at running definitely helped me like running more. It's not fun in the beginning when you suck at it. At least for me.

  • @saikame5833
    @saikame5833 2 місяці тому +5

    For me it's the pacing. I've only ever played basketball and football so all about controlled sprints. Now after many injuries, I want to get into running for longevity and general health. I'll zone out and find myself almost sprinting and then run out of gas in a split second. Very fun, though, learning the pacing aspect and the mental awareness it takes.

  • @goldenscarecrow397
    @goldenscarecrow397 3 місяці тому +4

    For me, after years of trying to make it enjoyable, running became a positive experience when I stopped checking my pace and making myself anxious about whatever goal I had for my run. Go out, run if you feel like running, walk if you feel like walking, and just try to find that easy pace that allows you to get in the zone instead of obsess about time ticking and the possibility of you stopping or slowing down or letting yourself down at any moment. The mileage, the pace, whatever else you care about, will come naturally after. Give your body a chance to show you that it is actually capable of running

And yes there has been many days where I don’t want to for a run (I also live in AK and in the winter there isn’t much motivation when the sun comes up at 11 am and starts going down at 3:30pm, and not to speak of when the temperatures are in the negatives!) but even when I don’t want to go I still do, and I always feel better after the run! But lately I’ve been actually craving to go and have that feeling of putting each foot in front of each other and just to keep going!
